In terms of concentration of stars, West Sussex was the place to be for the 25th Revival meeting, which celebrated the Goodwood venue’s and Lotus’s 75th birthdays, Sir Jackie Stewart and Carroll Shelby all together. Hearing and seeing the star names and iconic machines was a pleasure but, once again, it was the competitive action that stole the show, as Marcus Pye’s 10-page report highlights.
Andy Priaulx’s handling of a Jaguar E-type to defeat the hitherto pacesetting AC Cobras when the rain arrived in the RAC TT Celebration was sublime, though this writer was probably most excited by the prospect of witnessing a BRM V16 take a win. Sadly (no offence to ERA or Alta fans!), it wasn’t to be, but the Goodwood Trophy race in which these cars starred provided the closest finish of the event.
